Munck H, et al. - In this work, researchers assessed if antibiotic treatment prevent future attacks of acute pharyngo-tonsillitis (APT) in patients with recurrent APT (RAPT). They also searched for preferable antibiotic regimen in the treatment of APT in patients with RAPT and preferable antibiotic regimen in the treatment of relapsing APT. Considerable evidence suggested the superiority of clindamycin and amoxicillin with clavulanate, relative to penicillin, with preferable effects on the microbiological flora and the number of future attacks of APT in patients with RAPT. In patients with RAPT, who has contraindications for tonsillectomy, antibiotic treatment is an option.
